Looking forward for true async to land - nothing here gets me too excited.

still remember been on #php with count down to php3 announcement
dotancohen•5m ago
I remember the discussions at the time about which filename extension to use - and I can not believe that .php3 won. I think that I was the first to bring up the subject for PHP 4, to use .php again and not include the version number.

The most exciting thing about the PHP8.5 announcement is the stability and maturity of PHP

A lot of people are too proud to be associated with PHP. I am ready to admit that know nothing about the language except that a lot of people make cool things with it.

My favourite PHP product at the moment is BookStack (https://www.bookstackapp.com/), a really good wiki. I run an instance for my family and it's great.

But there are loads of things. And I notice that many of the sites I like using...are built on well maintained PHP stacks.

How so?

PHP becomes a complex language with each update. For what reason? Its application is still limited to the web, mostly.
